Create a pocket query for a group of cachers

[+Wæki3_KL6]

Hi all, I tried searching the forums first, so forgive me if this has been answered prior.

 

I'm trying to figure out how I can limit the scope of un-found caches to myself and a friend. It would be really helpful to go on Geocaching adventures with friends, and search for areas of the map that we both have yet to find caches. Right now I can only figure out how to limit my scope. I want to find an area with a dense amount of caches that I've yet to find, as well as a friend--whom may have been geocaching for years prior. Sure we can chat about particular caches, but making a 1 hour drive for 1 cache seems wasteful.

 

I cannot find out how to do this on the website. I've a Mac too, so mentions to PC programs like GSAK aren't very helpful. I've an iOS and Android device that could be used.

ProjectGC will do the trick for you.

What you are looking for is not a PQ but a plain search.

Have a look and try the NewSearch:

 

 

And don't forget to check the button "I haven't found". ;-)

Great information! With the new search feature, this does work!

 

Unfortunately, I cannot save the +2 million results (or the first 1,000) into a list, bookmark, query etc. So while useful at the computer, impractical in the field.

 

Luckily, I also figured out how to do it with an app I purchased. Though the search is a bit limited at 50 caches max per search.

Looks like there may not be an easy way to download coordinates to a GPSr that meets the criteria above. If anyone has some thoughts on this, thanks!

You're wrong. In the top left area of the searches' result page is a check box (left beside "Geocache Name"). Check that box and then hit the button "Add xxx to a List"

GREAT! Thank you, I failed to notice you can export the list. I was trying to export while looking at the map! Thanks!
